The crew on the Juneau, Alaska registered fishing vessel Icy Bay work to remove sockeye salmon from their net in the Egegik district of the Bristol Bay sockeye salmon fishery on July 15. Left to right are Chris Miller, Aaron Opp, and Jason Kolhase. The sockeye salmon fishery is winding down in all the bay districts but final numbers won't be tallied for weeks. The sockeye harvest run is over 48 million so far, a number that came faster and earlier than fishermen and biologists expected.
